Fully agree -- documentation as markdown committed alongside the code (and processes to ensure that it is kept up-to-date, discoverable and browsable) is the best way to avoid docs going stale or abandonned.

That's the challenge we at Komment (komment.ai) are taking on -- providing tools to maintain high-quality, up-to-date code documentation. We enable developers to spend more time developing, and less time documenting or figuring out wh

A magnetic object attracts or repells another object with the exact same strength that affects it. Look up Newton's third law, in case your not familiar with it -- can't tell from your messages.

I interpret this as, 'for an individual cow given a diet of that seaweed'. I don't think there's an issue there.

I'm a bit confused about the point you are trying to make. Based on your comment history, you seem comfortable with taking liberties with the English language to get your point across quickly (e.g. omitting implicit pronouns and articl

Not 100% sure this is unbiased but from what I see, £50k is good for a 30-years-old and £60k very good I would say. (Permanent employees of course.)

I think it only becomes public if you '+1' the app. Otherwise I would agree with you, of course.

Why not mention factorials? 9!! is way bigger than 9^9^9. And you can write many exclamation marks in 15 seconds.

"On the bright side, the longer your marriage lasts, the less likely you are to divorce." Emmm.. Not too surprising, is it? Divorces kind of tend to terminate marriages early.

I used to have it (French accent) on Google voice search, until mid-2013. Nowadays the same service works really well for me, so they definitely improved something.

$799. Impressive. I think this is a big moment for Microsoft.

What are they studying? I find that scientific textbooks (machine learning, etc) are much more usable as books than as pdf, as I need to often jump from one chapter to another and it needs to be the matter of a split second (or I won&#x27

His most relevant papers (already linked by another commenter) are http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/PikettyZucman2014QJE.pdf and especially http://gabriel-zucman.eu/files/PikettyZucman2014HID.pdf .

This is a book for a wide audience. Not the right place for maths. But Piketty is a very respected researcher (at home and internationally), with an excellent grasp of the state of the art in econometric and economic modelling ('math&#

Yes the maths are likely right, but that does mean Taleb is being fair to Piketty. Economics is not just about the maths, it's about whether the maths being proposed (i.e. the model) are the right tool to understand and explain the obs

Taleb seems to be engaged in two vendettas (as is clear from reading the Black Swan): first, economists; second, the French. One would therefore be well advised to take his notes about the work of a French economist with a pinch of salt. &q

You seem to entertain a rather convenient set of beliefs and opinions. I pay a pretty hefty price because I do not share them (and go out of my way to 'do my part').

Note that they are called Now TV, not Sky Now, thought they are a Sky service. (No Sky subscription needed.)

Now TV (www.nowtv.com) does have Game of Thrones with a subscription model. (UK only, but that shouldn't stop you!)

Am I missing something? I think that "I observe the same problem in Windows as in Linux" DOES allow rejection of the hypothesis "The problem is with Linux only".

My guess is that it is probably not overtly malicious, but that people at Google are just responding to incentives. There are simply more incentives for Google to get things working 100% right in Chrome. It is not to say that it is ok, thou

"I suggest that ‘Big Data’ analyses are no more prone to this kind of problem than any other kind of analysis." To an extent, large data volumes make it more difficult for the statistician to be as nimble. Trying different algorit

Persona is an elegant, powerful idea that is 100% in the users interest. I dearly want to see it gain traction. Kudos for disseminating your enthusiasm.
